Notes
Romeo & Juliet was the first book/play that I read that really made me appreciate the beauty of words. Shakespeare tells a powerful and thought-provoking story about the harsh brutality of love. The last line never fails to make me cry: “For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
Favourite Quotes
“That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet.”
“These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume.”
“Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.”
“Eyes, look your last! Arms take your last embrace! And, lips, O you the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss.”
